The Mixtape Diaries
Foreign Language Lyrics (w/ Nena, Plastic Bertrand, Seu Jorge, and Stereolab!)
The Diarists' assignment for this episode is to come up with three songs with non-English lyrics —
"But wait," Bob asks, "do *all* the lyrics need to be in a foreign language?" "Not necessarily," says Brad, who chose the theme. Enter the Talking Heads ... and with them, Nena, Juliana Hatfield (!), Plastic Bertrand, Falco, Grauzone (Krautrock, from Mark?!?), Seu Jorge, Les Rita Mitsouko, Bananarama (!!), Cornershop, Sigur Ros, and Stereolab.
Join us as we spring songs in French, German, Portuguese, Swahili, Punjabi, and Icelandic on the Playlist!
As always, find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music and your Extras on Twitter.
Credits: Intro/ Outro — the Februarys, "Does Your Father Know"/ "... In a Letter."
